In this work, the surface of the bamboo fibers (BF) was treated with three kinds of silane coupling agents terminated with amino functional groups (KH550), epoxy functional groups (KH560), and methyl functional groups (KH570) to improve fiber–matrix adhesion. The effects of silane treatment on the m...
